May i quote one of my best predictions ever from today's thread:
to be fair, i thought Roglic would take boni seconds ;D

I think he passed the Bambi torch months ago. Looks like Padun is holding it now.So Bambi is leading a Micky Mouse GT that nobody cares about even starting, let alone fighting for GC as they are either preparing for Worlds or just have to show up to fill the team quotum...

Today's performance was tremendous, but doesn't say anything about his GC chances.
Yet.
Kutgw Remco. And nice way of handling the intrusive camera man, exactly how it should be.

It doesn’t say…anything?
I’ll go out on a limb and say it says SOMETHING about his GC chances.

Well we all know he can drop bombs on a the first (sometimes only) mountain finish in a stage race.
It's the recovery and the 3 weeks thing I'm crossing my fingers for. Hence the 'yet'. And I'm absolutely a believer and supporter, don't get that wrong.
To be fair, and I say this as a big fan and supporter, the big caveat is that the arrival was at 1.088m. On the other hand, taking 1min30 on everyone except Mas is offcourse superb. I wonder if some other contenders like Hindley, Sivakov e.a. won't regret they simply followed Roglic in the pursuit and didn't take turns or tried to go faster then him. Maybe they couldn't either ;-)

Of course we have to see how he holds up. Team looks very questionable, he's unproven. But today definitely says something about his chances. He's in red and looks like the strongest right now. It was the first real mountain finish and he put all the other big names in the back seat. His chances are quite a bit better today than they were yesterday.
I was objecting to "doesn't say anything" which I found curious.

I'm sure that's the case. I'll have to rewatch, but i think mas was the only one strong enough to catch the remco-locomotive, and once the train leaves the station it's game over.

Great ride today. Nicely estimated.
The usual platitude still holds though: 15 stages to go …

Great stage today. Remco delivers!! I was jumping up and down when he put his sunglasses away...went to the front...and started his demonic pace dropping everybody except Mas who was holding on for his life and never once took a pull in the front. I was also surprised he didn't catch Jay Vine but oh well, that was the only disappointment. Congrats to Remco!!!
p.s. I hope Van Wilder is able to do just a bit better in the next stages so he can help Remco. Also, Masnada should have saved a little more, but I believe he's pushing too much and not concentrating on his team leader.

Seems like Vine did an amazing performce since Evenepoel was pushing well over 6W/kg:

That’s generous (and funny) of youMay i quote one of my best predictions ever from today's thread:

Arensman has 435W for the climb for 29.46 https://www.strava.com/activities/7698513819/segments/2997911447738346656
Kuss has 340W for the climb for 30:55 https://www.strava.com/activities/7698732235/segments/2997921888444450208
Roughly, assuming the same weight of 65kg, it would translate in 6.7W/kg for Arensman and 5.2W/kg for Kuss.
There must be something off with either or both of their powermeters and/or quite some weight difference to explain this difference...

There is a massive weight difference between them. Kuss is mostly listed around 61 kg and Arensman in region 68-70.

"you can put an chicken on a bike in the wheel of van poppel and it can win still a stage"
It's almost so real. Remember the time he said Viviani could beat Copillini wearing flip-flops?

Just imagine, Uijtdebroeks is wasting his time in Avenir. He could have dropped Roglic here today!
Just in case, i was kidding.
